Quick update gang:

547 tickets sold - I've deposited a total of £5470 into the Movember account - https://uk.movember.com/mospace/1743822

There's also an additional £245 in there from friends and family who didn't want to be in the draw, but wanted to give their support.

There's also £1,041.08 in postage fees - these are still trickling through to me from Stripe, with the last due to arrive in my bank on 7th December - the most expensive scenario for shipping is about £150, which leaves a good extra chunk of cash going to the Movember fund too.

And for clarity, the payment processing fees, charged by the banks for processing each sale were £326.42

I'll be making the draw after work this evening - and will be notifying the winner first, and then all ticket buyers via email, before posting here and on the Time 4A Pint social channels.

Huge thanks to everyone who gave their support. 👍

And we have a winner!

This evening, I've run the draw for the 2020 Time 4A Pint Movember raffle.

This involved the random number generator at random.org, and the number range 1-547 (all the tickets sold).

The number the came out was 75, which belongs to Stewart, from California, USA - I have emailed you!

Huge congratulations to Stewart, who will be receiving my 2019 Oris Chronoris Movember Edition, along with a signed copy of Barbara Palumbo's book Flores Delores and the Oris Chronoris.

Congratulations! Even though the 20k goal wasn’t achieved, it was damn good work. You should be proud! 😀

Recounts are available for a sizeable charity donation... although I will say now that the result will not change. 😁

Hi All -- to say that I'm happy and humbled is an understatement. It is not often that you can contribute to a GREAT cause and then WIN something as fantastic as a watch! It was my pleasure to just participate in this raffle and to know that 547 tickets were sold plus donations were taken in.

Many thanks to Chris @tyrantlizardrex for managing this raffle on OF and increasing awareness -- You did a fantastic job! And thanks to the many OF members that contributed to this extremely worthy cause and raised a sh*tload of money! ::psy:: ::psy:: ::psy:: 👍

After a bit of a delay caused by a lack of export forms at the post office, the Oris is now on its way to @Stewart A

That means that the balance of cash left over from shipping is now in my Movember account.

Giving us a grand total of £6,765 - which is an amazing result, for a fantastic cause.

Thanks to everyone who took part, your support has helped to stop men dying too young, and I cannot thank you enough. 👍

I want to say a huge public thank you to an incredibly generous member of the community, who's asked to remain anonymous, and has this week topped up the pot with an extra £5,000. 😲👍🥰

Totally blown away by the fantastic support. 😎

That takes the 2020 total to £11,765 - which is epic.

The fundraising page is open until the end of the year, so if you missed out on the raffle, but would like to put a couple of quid in the pot, your support is still very much appreciated: https://uk.movember.com/mospace/1743822

Whoop - great to see it on your wrist @Stewart A!

With the delay from the shipping company, maybe I should have asked Santa to drop it by!? 😁

For anyone that would like to make a donation, my Movember page is still open until 31 December: https://uk.movember.com/mospace/1743822 😎

And the wonderful @DaveK was offering a very cool incentive... which it looks like there might be a chance to still pickup if you hit the donation request: https://omegaforums.net/threads/the-unauthorized-movember-garage-sale-thread.122529/ 👍
